So the statement
There are no ethical billionaires
is (or at least can be) false. The amount of money someone has does not define if they are ethical or not. I think we agree on the premise of the argument just not on the example I provided.
I’m not, I’m just asking what’s unethical about having money. If he made it fair and square what’s wrong with that? Notch is a good example because he’s self made and didn’t have a big corpo behind him, anything beyond that is irrelevant to the argument I’m making.
What about Eron Wolf, the founder of the FUTO foundation?
What about Brian Acton, the CEO of signal?
Did he do something bad or just haven’t done enough good? I don’t really keep up with him.
I don’t really keep up with random people’s politics, and I suppose anything short of a communist is considered far right in these circles, but putting aside the idea that anyone who doesn’t support collectivism is a devil incarnate, what’s unethical about making a game and pawning it off to M$ for a billion $?
What about Notch, the creator of minecraft?
It says that the content can’t be digital, you’d have to use video tapes or other analog medium.
You could allow buying store credit or steam wallet funds in this case. Your crypto gets converted to a “stable currency” at the time of sale. You can do that right now by buying steam gift cards, just not directly from steam.
Use monero, it’s what bitcoin was supposed to be.
The law is whatever the judge says it is. You could have undeniable proof of your innocence and still get convicted.
I was about to install it on my server until I found out that it’s developed by the UK government. Now I won’t trust it even though it’s open source.
Eventually a network decentralized on an infrastructure level, like a meshnet or satellite network where each satellite is controlled and owned by an individual, will be the only way to freely transmit digital information. Sending a CubeSat to LEO costs about $30k these days and will probably get cheaper as technology improves. I think a community run decentralized satellite network accessible via local meshnet through on-ground satellite-connected nodes will be the next step in the fight against censorship. As long as governments control the cables our data flows through, they won’t stop trying to control it.
I think piracy is the answer. If a creator is not on odysee, make a channel of the same name an re-upload all their content, everyone can do it basically for free. If you run a peertube instance, pick a few youtube channels you like and mirror them to your instance and keep them updated with something like ChannelTube or TubeSync.
You are making an assumption about someone’s everyone’s character, worldview, lifestyle and political association based on a single piece of information - how they like to dress. You’re one step away from crossing the street when you see a black guy or asking an asian for help with a math problem.
Are they gonna ban torrents next? Https? You can ssh to a remote server and wget files all day long, or setup vnc and have a vpn like experience.
All the people on here calling guys who like military/tacticool aesthetic insecure are no different than people calling guys fags for wearing skinny jeans.
Inb4 I get arrested for butt texting.
